A long time coming, one would interject, but everyone glad it is indeed happening. Rock n' roll heavyweights Aerosmith will be touring US this summer 2014 with former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash as their opening act.

The announcement about the Aerosmith and Slash US Tour 2014 came in through the band members' twitter accounts, confirming the collaboration.

Aerosmith's Guitarist Joe Perry tweeted: "It's official- we just talked, AEROSMITH/SLASH USA tour confirmed!! Tickets on sale next few wks Soon as dates confirmed. LET ROCK RULE !

This was followed by Slash writing to his fans: "Great news! We'll be touring the US with @Aerosmith this summer! Stay tuned for dates. It's going to be a killer tour! R n Fn' R! iiii]; )"

Drummer Joey Kramer also confirmed the news on his personal Twitter account after a few hours: "It's official @Aerosmith @Slash US Tour 2014 dates coming soon!!!"

Though there are no updates yet as to when will the Aerosmith and Slash US Tour 2014 start or how long will it run, it is certain that it will not begin before July, according to ultimateclassicrock.com.

2011 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Aerosmith are currently going on a European tour from May 14 until July 2 and are also scheduled to headline the Rock Fest in Cadott, WI on July 19.

Slash has his hands full too, working with Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators on his third solo outing.

When pressed by FUSE about the schedule of its release in the last SXSW event, Slash answered:

"I'm thinking ... well, I'm more than thinking. I'm pretty sure, September. The band has been in the studio laying down new material since the beginning of the year."

The ex-Velvet Revolver guitarist then joined the Jimi Hendrix Celebration at Butler Park during the South by Southwest festival. He rocked the stage covering Hendrix classics as 'Foxy Lady,' 'Red House,' 'Purple Haze,' 'All Along the Watchtower' and 'The Star-Spangled Banner' with Wayne Kramer, Rusty Anderson, Dave and Phil Alvin, and Robby Krieger.
